looking for stuff

Feb 07, 2004 10 Replies

Ok, I'm looking for some pieces that haven't seen for sale through retail outlets. I've got the main defroster box and nice new vents for the dash but not the pieces in between, you know, the funky pieces that come out either side of the box and run up to the dash. Also looking for washer bottle. That I could probably get one of them universal kits or a Mexican set up but I kinda would like the original "yeh, that is why my spare is flat in the middle of no where at 12AM" bottle setup. Need one of the little rods that keeps the door from opening up too far (passenger side). I'm sure I'll have more stuff to get but I guess that will do for now. If anyone has any of this stuff to part with, shoot me an email. Thanks!

You can get the elbows that run from the air box to the vents here:

I didn't really search that hard, but I'm certain you can get a washer bottle there, also.

Sneaks, I have the washer bottle and the door stop "rod" Maybe even the pin for the door stop...............not sure on that part, but I know the stops on the last two cars I have disassembled were identical. I have some cars to compare to for correctness though. I will check the integrity of the bottle before closing on any deal.

15 bucks for washer bottle and door stop..............( If shipping is not too much I'll take care of that out of the 15 bucks) Email me....................if you dare!.........LOL

( the lid to the washer bottle is supposed to keep the pressure from getting too low to drive on the spare (special valve), I am not sure if the bottle I have has the correct lid or if it has the lid at all..........should though )

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News

Sneaks,

I have a '68 parts car that probably has what you want. That's the good news. The bad news it's kind of buried at my "Old Volks Home" in northeastern VT. How soon do you want/need this stuff?

Al...whereabouts are you? What sort of Old Volks Home do you keep? I drive my Beetle up to the Northeast Kingdom all the time. Or I should say whenever I get the time and the salt is off the roads...BTW I noticed a very nice looking '66ish sedan, black, for sale in East St. Johnsbury not long ago.

Bill,

I am indeed in the NEK, in Lyndonville to be precise. The OVH is a collection of (mostly free) ACVWs that are living out their twilight years in dignity, where hopefully no crusher will ever find them. At last count there was 8 there, with a Rabbit truck thrown in for good measure. I have 5 more on the "waiting list" that need to be transported there when my sons and I get the opportunity (3 of them are on the other side of a '60s era homemade wooden bridge that needs some TLC)...

I had my '68 T-1 out for a spin around town this evening, just to keep things limbered up. The roads were pretty dry so salt wasn't too much of an issue. Damn, I miss driving a 'real' car all winter!

Where in ESJ was the black sedan? I go thru there regularly but haven't seen it. 'Very nice' sounds like it's out of my price range, but ya never know...

Used to play hockey in Lyndonville growing up (grew up in Whitefield, NH over by Littleton). Got a few lines on those particular pieces but thanks. I will most likely find more stuff I'll need\want so I'll let you know after the thaw, LOL.

Great spot. I buy tires from Everett in Red Village and punkins from the farm next door.

Cool. Unfortunately the only place here where I might store a collection is taken up by my neighbors' houses.

On Rt. 2 headed west just after ESJ center but before the railroad crossing. On your left at the top of a driveway.

I asked around at work to find out if anyone had noticed this car. I'll have to take a closer look!

BTW, my daily driver (well, for most of the year) '68 came from ESJ. It was parked at the intersection of rtes. 2 and 118 in the fall of '97. Bought it for way too much money and spent the next 2 1/2 years replacing a large percentage of the sheet metal. Ironically, it was a one-owner car from MA whose owner kept it going as long as she could, and sold it a local 'entrepreneur' for about 1/4 what I paid for it ( I figured this out later). Who said education isn't expensive?
